What operating system are you using? In the 9x systems, it is necessary to check allow wave sounds with software synthesizers if you are using a software synthesizer. in windows xp, it should not be necessary. If you are uusing windows xp and this does not happen in other versions of jaws, you may need to upgrade your sound card drivers. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dean Schmidt" <dschmidt@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, February 23, 2004 4:40 PM Subject: PlayingWavFilesInIE Hello, I'm new to this list and I have a question. I'm using IE6 with the latest version of Windows Media Player and JFW 5.0. Whenever I click on a .wav file on a web page, I get an error saying that the hardware is not available,. However, if I shut down Jaws and click on the .wav file again, it plays just fine, but it's not very convenient to have to do this. Has anybody found a way to get around this problem?
